With the Russia World Cup less than a year away, we here at The18 asked ourselves who are the best (and worst) fans in the world.
We’ve compiled a list below of superlatives to break down what makes each country’s fans unique, for better or worse.
Note: We limited results to nations that are or have been regular World Cup qualifiers. Scroll to the bottom for the best and worst fans.
On Father's Day, Vauxhall released a video of England/Liverpool teammates and best friends Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana competing at making dad jokes.
